Poet and author Owen Sheers presents a series in which he explores six great
works of poetry set in the British landscape. Each poem explores a sense of
place and identity across Britain and opens the doors to captivating stories
about the places and the lives of the poets themselves.
George Mackay Brown, who died in 1996, was the great poetic voice of the
Orkneys and one of the foremost Scottish poets of the 20th century. Sheers
travels to the place the locals call the Venice of the North, the Orkney town
of Stromness, which was Mackay Brown's home and the backdrop for much of his
work, including his great poem Hamnavoe.
In Hamnavoe, the Viking name for Stromness, Mackay Brown takes the reader on a
nostalgic and blustery tour of the town in the footsteps of his father, the
local postman. Sheers uses the poem as a tour guide to Mackay Brown's Orkney
life and work, exploring the narrow streets where George was born and wrote his
first poems and taking diversions to the great cathedral of St Magnus, the
Norse patron saint of the islands, and the remote island of Rackwick.
The poem opens up a moving story of a father and son and showcases Mackay
Brown's exquisite, concise, gem-like writing. With ravishing views of the
islands in the distinctive Orcadian light, the programme is a hymn to a unique
corner of Britain. It also features, among other friends and fans of Mackay
Brown, the contemporary Scottish poet Don Patterson.
